I noted before that I was planning to move my family to Canada
[0]. Well, we finally did it in June of this year, and are settling
in to the new home in southern Quebec.

So far things are fine, the biggest bit of culture shock is that
French is the default language here. Some people (particularly
younger people) speak both English and French fluently, but many
speak only French or French with broken English. I speak passable
French for just daily needs, but it is nowhere near fluent, so I'm
working on getting that up to speed. My wife will be taking French
classes, provided by the Quebec government for new immigrants. My
kids will be attending French school - that will be a shock for them
at first, I'm sure, but they will adapt as only children can do.
